Sillytown: Now even Amnesty International is calling for a delay on the Kavanaugh vote

Whatever Amnesty International used to do isn’t what they’ve been doing lately. As Twitchy reported, the group that used to pressure governments to free political prisoners now wants the U.S. to pass stronger gun control so as not to be in violation of international human rights law.

Leaving behind whatever last shred of credibility it had, Amnesty International has now weighed in on the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation, issuing a rare call that the Senate vote be delayed until it can be determined that Kavanaugh has not been involved in any human rights violations.

We take no position on the appointment of particular individuals to government positions, unless they are reasonably suspected of crimes under international law & could use their appointment in question to either prevent accountability for these crimes or to continue perpetration

In addition to concerns about Kavanaugh’s involvement in torture and other ill-treatment by the U.S. government, we are deeply concerned about Brett Kavanaugh’s record on a range of other human rights issues, including sexual and reproductive rights.

Well at least Amnesty International was honest enough to blurt out the truth at the end there: this whole thing has been about some phantom idea that the second he’s confirmed, Justice Kavanaugh will somehow outlaw abortion in the U.S. It’s all Roe v Wade all the time with these people in their stupid handmaid costumes.

Deep State NGO joins the Democrats ludicrous mode. Boy, Amnesty will need a deep memory hole afterwards. Because a "rare call" for taking down an undisputed nominee on the basis of NO proof-allegations is not very human rights like – up here. https://t.co/h6mKvW7OdV

whatever you think about Kavanaugh (I have no idea where the truth lies in regard to the accusations), this is sad. the next time @amnesty raises its voice about torture in prisons, its moral capital will have been frittered away on the fashionable side of a US political squabble https://t.co/9fwptk3sC6
